Have you ever wondered what it means to take a 'searching and fearless moral inventory'? In this episode of The Recovery Show, hosts Spencer and Eric tackle the daunting yet transformative Step 4 from the Al-Anon program. They share their personal journeys and experiences with this step, shedding light on its importance in the recovery process. Step 4 involves making an honest list of our characteristics, behaviours, and patterns, both positive and negative.
It's not just about highlighting flaws but also recognising our strengths, which can be a real eye-opener for many struggling with low self-esteem due to alcoholism's impact on their lives. Eric talks about how he initially found it easier to criticise himself than to see his good qualities, a common struggle among those affected by addiction in their loved ones.
Spencer shares his initial fears and how he overcame them by working through the Blueprint for Progress with a supportive group. This episode is packed with relatable anecdotes, practical advice, and heartfelt reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone on their recovery journey. Whether you're new to the 12 steps or revisiting them, you'll find comfort and inspiration in their candid discussion. Don't miss out on this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your recovery path.
